Biological Macromolecules: complex polymers (a long molecule consisted of similar or identical monomers linked by covalent
bonds) that are assembled from monomers (building blocks of polymers)
Ex. Carbohydrates, proteins and fats
Enzymes help speed up the reaction when synthesizing and breaking down polymers.
Dehydration (loss of water) is the synthesizing of polymer (monomers connect)
Hydrolysis is breaking the polymer by adding water.
Carbohydrates
-consists of simple sugars and polymers of sugars
-Monosaccharides (CH2O) mainly represented by glucose (C6H12O6). It has a carbonyl group (C=O) and multiple
hydroxyl group (-OH).
-Disaccharides are made of two monosaccharides joined by glycosidic bond (by dehydration)
-Polysaccharides are made up of few hundred of monosaccharides joined by glycosidic acid.
-Storages polysaccharides are plants and animals storing sugar for later use.
-Starch is stored by plants (glucose joined by -(1-4) linkages). It represents as stored energy.
-Glycogen is stored by animals (joined by -(1-4) linkages)
-Structural polysaccharides are what makes the organisms build strong materials.
-Cellulose is a component of the tough walls that enclose plants cells. Glucoses are joined by
(1-4) linkages. Humans cannot digest cellulose.
-Chitin the carbohydrates used by insects to build their exoskeletons. Similar to cellulose but has a nitrogen-
containing appendages.
Proteins
-they consists of one or more polypeptides (unbranched polymers built from 20 amino acids)
-some proteins speed up chemical reactions, while others defence, storage, transport, cellular communication,
movement or structure support.
-Catalyst enzymatic proteins that regulate metabolism.
-Amino acids ae linked by peptide bond so a polymer of amino acids are called polypeptide
-Amino acids are made of amino group (NH2), carboxyl group (OH-C=O), hydrogen atom and side chain (R group).
The center has an carbon.

chemical bonds and interactions w/in a protein may be destroyed, causing the protein to unravel and lose its native shape, its
called denaturation.
-Renaturation is when it regains its activity. From denatured protein to normal protein.
-Levels of protein structure

determined by inherited genetic information. It dictates secondary and tertiary structure.
-Secondary: (region stabilized by H-ods / atos of polpeptide akoes It’s the
repeated coiled ( helix) or folded ( pleated sheet) in patterns. Fibrous proteins are defined by secondary structure
like collagen.
-Tertiary: (3-D shape stabilized by interactions b/ side chains). Hydrophobic interactions is whenpolypeptide

Waals interactions help hold the nonpolar amino acids together. Hydrogen bonds b/ polar side chains helps stabilize tertiary
structures. Covalent bonds called disulphide bridges (-S-S-) reinforce the shape of proteins.
-Quaternary: (association of multiple polypeptides, forming a functional protein) the overall protein
structure that result from the aggregation of these polypeptide subunits.
-Chaperonins are protein molecules that assist in the proper folding of other proteins. It keeps new polypeptide
separated from descriptive chemical conditions.
-Cofactors are non-protein compound that is bound to a protein and is essential for that proteins function like
vitamins and minerals.
Nucleic acids
-made of nucleotides
-they transmit and help express hereditary information
-gene is the inheritance unit
-polymers of nucleotides are DNA and RNA and called polynucleotides
-Nucleotides are joined by phosphodiester bonds
-Nucleotides consist of nitrogenous bases, 5 carbon sugar, and phosphate group

-Nucleoside has no phosphate group
-Pyrimides are 1 sex-membered ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms (Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil)
-Purines are larger with six-membered ring fused to a 5-membered ring (Adenine and Guanine)

Lipids
-they are hydrophobic molecules; mixed poorly w/ water
-Fatty acids are made up of long, hydrophobic carbon skeleton that has carboxyl group at one end and has
hydrocarbon chain on the rest of the skeleton.
-Glycerol and fatty acids are joined by ester linages to for triacylglcerols

-Has a double membrane that fuses at the nuclear pore. This pores regulate the entry and exit of molecules from
nucleus.
-Nuclear lamina is made of proteins that maintains the nucleus shape
-Contains cells DNA and it is the information centre f the cell
